Very interesting...not at all what I thought it would be.

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2003)

I went into this film expecting nothing more than another "Texas Chainsaw massacre' or 'Friday the 13th'. I was completely wrong, while it does have some of the elemnts from those films, this film is light years ahead of them. I found it to be interesting, thought provoking and very intertaining. Every film has faults, and I would consider this film as to having only a few (my biggest gripe is that infections take 10-15 seconds...no virus moves that fast..but hey it is Hollywood, or Londonwood, whatever). One striking point that I find interesting that no one has hit on it yet is the fact that the one group of 'cilivized' people we find in the story has literally lowered themselves to barbaric levels in our to survive. The major says he has pulled these men together by promising them a reward of plenty of women! To make them civilized and organized he has to promise them a reward of plenty of woemn to have their way with. So the root moral out of this movie that I got, was that even when we are reduced to the barest levels of our morality, we will still be nothing more than animals. Anyway, I found this movie to be much better than I thought it could be. Definately a movie I would recommend to others to watch, but don't go in thinking this is nothing more than a brappy slasher film, you will be disappointed as it makes you think. ;-)
